Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2017: T20 cricketer of the year

#8 Hashim Amla

Amla was in sensational form in T20s in 2017(Cape Cobras, Kings XI Punjab, South Africa, World XI)

Breaking stereotypes has been a feature of Hashim Amla's career and that is just what he continued doing in 2017. It was a year that saw him amass over 1,000 runs from just 26 matches at an average of almost 50 with two centuries as well.

He is one of only eight players to have scored over 1,000 T20 runs in 2017 and yet despite those numbers, he continues to be overlooked for the majority of T20 competitions around the world.

26 matches | 1021 runs @ 48 | SR 143 | HS: 104*
